Cheap shooter quality Lugers

[Ron Wood]

If a dealer tells you that you that they must either "own" the gun or you must "sell" them the gun and then "buy it back" in order to do the transfer, run away and don't look back. You are correct, that is "strange" and the dealer(s) that told you that either do not understand the law or are out to grab your Luger.

To be fair to dealers, they are in business to earn a living. Often they receive a bunch of guns that folks have bought over the Internet and expect to be able to pick up from the dealer without regard to the legal paperwork that the dealer must go through, and don't think that they should have to pay for the process. That makes the dealers reluctant to do transfers and they tend to discourage transferring anything that they are not selling themselves.

I think Mr. Miller is being very fair and honest with you. I hope I am right.
